Chapter 18: Qin Yuanpei

Speaking of the Ming music scene, the two most famous music companies are Yi Xun Music and Tian Cheng Music, and among the two, Tian Cheng Music's qualifications are relatively much older than Yi Xun Music, if you really want to talk about it, the earliest creation period of Tian Cheng Music can be traced back to the fourth year after the end of World War II, that is, in 1942, but at that time Tian Cheng Music was not the current name, at that time Tian Cheng Music was called Tiandiren Kunqu Opera Society, and the founder was the world-famous Kunqu Opera Master Qin at that time. Yu Zhen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The main participants in World War II were the United States and the European powers, and although the latter also participated in the war and was attacked by the Soviet Union, after all, the only battlefield of the Ming Kingdom at that time was also in the northernmost part, and the country was still peaceful. Therefore, after a World War II, whether it was the United States, European powers or even the Soviet Union, they all had their own damages, only Ming Guo did not suffer any losses, and also received reparations from the Soviet Union and gifts from the United States after the war.

It was at that time that Qin. Mr. Yu Zhen, as a leading figure in the Kunqu opera industry in the Ming Dynasty, visited many Western countries on behalf of the Ming opera industry, and spread the reputation of Kunqu Opera all over the world through cultural exchanges. Yu Zhen's personal prestige.

Shortly after returning to China, Qin. Yu Zhen founded the Tiandiren Kunqu Opera Society, which changed the traditional way of inheriting master and apprentice in the opera industry, aiming to establish a perfect Kunqu Opera inheritance system, so that more people can learn Kunqu Opera and better carry forward Kunqu Opera.

It's a pity that Qin. Mr. Yu Zhen's physical condition is not very good, only five years after the establishment of the Tiandiren Kunqu Opera Society, Qin. Mr. Yu Zhen died of a heart attack, and after that, the Tiandiren and Kunqu Opera Society ushered in the second helmsman, Qin. Yuzhen's youngest son, Qin Ronghe.

Qin Ronghe has been influenced by Qin since he was a child. Yu Zhen carefully cultivated, although the artistic level is not up to Qin. The height of Yuzhen, but looking at the whole Ming Kingdom, its level is also unquestionable. After taking over Qin. After Yu Zhen passed down the heavy responsibility, Qin Ronghe devoted himself to the Kunqu Opera Society, wanting to carry it forward, but unfortunately, Qin Ronghe's luck was not good, but in four years, the vigorous music reform rose in the United States and quickly swept the world!

This musical revolution completely broke the lengthy musical expression of the past, redefined music, and finally formed the prototype of today's pop music.

Under the impact of the wave of music reform, traditional opera has suffered severe challenges, although the older generation still likes the expression of opera, but for young people, new music is what they are passionate about. After all, compared with an opera that is nearly an hour short and two or three hours long, a song of new music is only a few minutes, and the longest is only ten minutes, so such a fast pace is more likely to be welcomed by young people.

With the rise of new music among young people, the acceptance of opera began to decline rapidly, and within a few years, traditional opera faced a crisis of decline, although with the country's rigid legal protection, traditional opera is unlikely to die out completely, but in the long run, after a few generations, even if traditional opera is still inherited, but if no one watches it, it is not much different from extinction.

As the person of heaven and earth and the person in charge of the Kunqu Opera Society, Qin Ronghe naturally realized the terrifying influence of new music on Kunqu Opera, so after interviewing the leaders in the opera industry, Qin Ronghe took the lead in raising the banner of opera reform, hoping to integrate some elements of new music into Kunqu Opera, so as to increase the audience of Kunqu Opera.

It's a pity that Qin Ronghe, who has been engaged in Kunqu Opera for half his life, has not been able to really integrate new music into Kunqu Opera after trying for several years, and the works he has made have neither the taste of Kunqu Opera nor the essence of new music, so it is impossible to spread it at all.

The first thing Qin Ronghe did when he made a plan was to change the name of the Tiandiren and Kunqu Opera Society, and the Tianhe Music Society replaced the former Tiandiren and Kunqu Opera Society, and Qin Ronghe quickly found a new music producer who was willing to join.

It's a pity that Qin Ronghe didn't expect that after adding fresh blood to the Tianhe Music Club, Kunqu Opera was not reborn as he thought, but accelerated its decline. The producers of the new music also wanted to make Kunqu Opera as the quintessence of the country go further, but their more inclined to the production of new music made their works completely out of the category of Kunqu Opera, strictly speaking, their works should be new music works with some Kunqu Opera characteristics, what is unexpected is that once such a work was launched, it immediately attracted wide attention from the people of the Ming Kingdom, and the new music was more popular with the people, and among them, Kunqu Opera has completely become an embellishment.

In the 21st century, the Tiancheng Music Society has long been renamed Tianchen Music, and Kunqu Opera, the spiritual symbol of Tianzhen, has been completely abandoned by Tianzhen, the Qin family has worked hard for Kunqu Opera for three generations, but the final result is the loss of Tianchen, and Kunqu Opera, there are not many people willing to take the time to listen, maybe there will be some people, but after all, it is only a small audience.

From Qin. Yuzhen Up to now, the Qin family has been passed down for four generations, and there is only one heir of the Qin family in this generation, he is one of the masters of the Ming opera industry today, and he is also the music director of Tiancheng Music - Qin Yuanpei.

The Qin family lost the ownership of Tianzhen in the third generation, that is, the era of Qin Yuanpei's father, although so, Qin Yuanpei's father was not too dissatisfied, after all, at that time, Tiancheng no longer needed Kunqu Opera, and the Qin family also got enough benefits while handing over Tianzhen, and then Qin Yuanpei's father began to seriously cultivate Qin Yuanpei, although Tianzhen is gone, but Kunqu Opera cannot be lost, this is the insistence of the Qin family for three generations, and it is also the common adherence of the inheritors of various opera genres in the opera industry.

Qin Yuanpei has studied Kunqu Opera since he was a child, but he is not exclusive to pop music, but because of the reason of Tianzhen, Qin Yuanpei sometimes pays more attention to pop music than Kunqu Opera.

However, as the only heir of the fourth generation of the Qin family, Qin Yuanpei's focus was still on the dissemination of Kunqu Opera, until Qin Yuanpei was forty years old, the previous music director of Tiancheng Music retired, and Chen Mingxing, as the chairman of Tiancheng Music, made a special trip to visit the Qin family, hoping that Qin Yuanpei could serve as the music director of Tiancheng Music, and Qin Yuanpei agreed to Chen Mingxing's request after seriously considering it for several days and talking with his elderly father.

Qin Yuanpei has been working in the position of music director of Tiancheng for eight years, and in these eight years, Qin Yuanpei has completely demonstrated his pop music production level that is no less than the top attainments of Kunqu Opera, and has successively won Li Yuhuan, Ming Zhe, and Xie Yuqing, three king-level singers for Tiancheng Music, and completely established Qin Yuanpei's identity as a top music producer!

Nowadays, Qin Yuanpei is no longer easy to compose songs, and the success of Li Yuhuan has proved his creativity and control of pop music, so he is now focusing more on Kunqu Opera, after all, as the Qin family, spreading Kunqu Opera is their life's mission.

And today, Qin Yuanpei rarely returned to the director's office of Tiancheng Music, and recruited Zhang Yanran of Tiancheng Music, because he saw the report about Zhang Yanran on the Internet.

When Zhang Yanran first joined Tiancheng Music, Qin Yuanpei was very optimistic about her, because the quality of the album "Women Like Water" is indeed excellent, which proves that Zhang Yanran not only has excellent singing skills, but also first-class creative talent. Until today, when Qin Yuanpei saw the report about Zhang Yanran on the Internet of fashion magazines, although he didn't believe it immediately, Qin Yuanpei was still suspicious, he needed to ask Zhang Yanran in person to understand the whole story of the matter before making a decision. If the report of the fashion magazine is slanderous, Qin Yuanpei will definitely not let go of the reporter who published the report and the singer named Luo Dong; But if that report is true, Qin Yuanpei will not hesitate at all, and will directly send Zhang Yanran to the police station.
